Vattenfall in Bristol
We are driving the transition towards low carbon heating by building a city-wide heat network to provide reliable heating and hot water to homes and businesses across Bristol.
Our partnership with Bristol City Leap
We are working with Bristol City Leap, a world-first city-scale public and private sector partnership aimed at achieving carbon neutrality for the city's energy infrastructure by 2030.
The twenty-year partnership between Bristol City Council, Ameresco and Vattenfall will enable the delivery of at least £1 billion of investment into Bristol’s energy system.
As the heat network partner we will invest £475 million by 2030 to expand the heat network and provide heating and hot water to the equivalent of 12,000 homes.

The Bristol Heat Network
We are helping the UK achieve its climate change ambitions by developing large, city-scale low carbon heat networks.
We are proud to partner with like-minded and forward thinking local authorities and developers and support them on their decarbonisation journey.
Delivering social value as we build
We are building on the foundation of community participation in Bristol by providing opportunities for local groups to become part of the network's fabric through a combined social value package worth £61.5 million. This includes spending £50 million with local supply chain, creating over 1,000 new jobs and offering a range of funding initiatives.
Building low carbon energy infrastructure
We use the floating harbour in Bristol to generate 3MW of heat through an award-winning water source heat pump at our Castle Park Energy Centre.
This is England’s largest harbour-based water source heat pump and provides heating and hot water to 2,500 homes through the Bristol heat network.
By 2030, our goal is that buildings in Bristol will be powered by a combination of water source and air source heat pumps, electric boilers, thermal storage and waste heat from industrial processes.
